So I haven't really tried it myself but I just came upon something that could be a huge time saver for those looking to pepakura. I found these home dye cutting machines that will both print and cut anything you input. What this means is you can upload the pepakura image then this machine will print it then proceed to cut it out with perfect accuracy. The ones I have found that seem to have the most reviews are the
Boss Kut Gazelle which runs around $500

And the Silhouette Cameo which runs around $300

This has a lot of potential for other builds as well. For instance lets say you wanna build a MK VI style arc reactor. You can upload files of the different layers that make up the front and then have them cut out of thin plastic. You could layer them paint them etc and you would have a very professional looking piece. Think about making S.H.I.E.L.D. Patches for cosplays. Or prototyping spiderman eye frame designs. I'm not sure if this has been covered before on here or if anyone has tried this but it seems promising.
